Ok so I have read The Last-Resort Technique now talked about towards the end of Step 5 so basically since my wife has moved out and is thinking about divorce I need to:
Don't text or call her wait for her to get ahold of me When we do talk don't mention the relationship problems Act happy when she is here Keep myself busy
Correct? I've been going on walks frequently but like I said previously I don't really have any friends around here to go hang out with
Last night my brother-in-law brought my wife over so she could get a couple pairs of clothes. When they were leaving she kept her eyes on the ground but gave me a slight hug and kiss and said "love you" on her way out. of course instinct kicked in and I did the same thing back. I haven't talked to her at all today even though it's been really tempting to text her. She's doesn't like to talk on the phone ever so she texts everyone she wants to talk too
My brother in law doesn't have hot water at his house so they normally either go over to the neighbors or go his wife's mothers house to shower. My wife asked if she could come over here to shower. I said it's fine by me. She also asked if she could leave some of her stuff here for now till we get it figured out exactly what were doing. She said she would take all her stuff if I wanted her too but there wasn't enough room in her brother's basement really. I read about doing small favors for your spouse when having problems. I would think these qualify?
